While the third overall full-length from Sacramento, California post-hardcore heroes Far (following on from their independently released 1992 debut Listening Game and 1994's Quick), Tin Cans With Strings To You would mark their major label debut for Immortal/Epic; a project their manager Troy Davis has gone on to consider the first ever screamo album. While that bold declaration is up for debate, there's little doubt the record's extended platform was likely one of the biggest pushes from the label with regards to the hardcore and punk scenes of the 90s. Brimming with carnal angst, hazy hooks and bombastic riffage, it's no secret why vital alt rock acts such as Biffy Clyro and Jimmy Eat World still refer to Far as one of their most intrinsic influences. Arriving on a lush gatefold 180 gram red & blue marbled vinyl double LP, complete with an extensive booklet, limited to 300 copies, this long overdue reissue of a quintessential piece of crossover 90s emotive post-hardcore fury is sure to fly out and reappear on Discogs at similar inflated prices to the OG pressings.
